My game slows down or stops entirely at 1:00 AM or 5:00 AM. Whats going on?
At 1:00 AM, EA’s story progession makes its changes–people are given babies, people move, people are made fat or slim, people change jobs, as so forth. Installing a mod that forces those changes to make sense instead of being completely random can make this process take excessive amounts of time. At 5:00 AM, the game can also slow down on lots with gardens, as gardens do their growing and calculations about needing water or fertilizer at that time.
